MMA Mania Asks Fans For Pizza Takes

MMA Mania turned its Friday open thread into a pizza debate this week.

Site contributor Tim Edwards asked readers to share their favorite types of pie in the November 6 thread, revealing his own ethnic Sicilian background and preference for sfincione and authentic Italian pizza. "I also love a Hawaiian," Edwards wrote, per the MMA Mania post. He named his favorite Toronto slice as a ham, honey and hot pepper combination from the Junction.

Sumo Returns Sunday With Top Division Fighters

The thread also previewed Sunday's sumo return. Edwards posted video of Sadogatake stable wrestlers preparing for competition, including top division fighters Kotozakura, Kotoshoho and Kotoeiho. He noted that only wrestlers in the top two divisions — the only tiers where fighters earn pay — are permitted to wear white belts during training.

The open thread format typically includes off-topic conversation alongside fight news. Edwards closed with a geography quiz and mentioned upcoming fight bookings involving Yair Rodriguez, though he expressed skepticism about the bout materializing.
